loneliness and tidbits

Why is it so hard to make friends, good friends, as an adult? I know part of my particular circumstance that makes it difficult is the fact that I have three kids with varying special needs and that, by its very nature, means we have unpredictable days. And we spend a lot of time at home.

But still...it is HARD.

And lonely. :(

But through it all, God has provided. I have this one friend who lives near me that I absolutely adore. I have found so many neat books and blogs recently. And my husband, although very busy, is literally my favorite person on the planet. He is my very best friend. I am so thankful for that. :)

Do you ever have those moments where you realize you aren't as smart (or clever) as you think you are?

Did you know that a linking verb 'complement' is indeed spelled differently from the word 'compliment'...that is was not a printing error in the teacher manual. Ha!

Did you know that you can do one small test to know for sure whether a verb is a linking verb or an action verb? If you are not sure try substituting a form of the verb "to be" in place of the verb in question, if the meaning is altered...the verb is a linking verb.

Example:

Is tasted a linking or action verb in the following sentences? Well, let's check it out....

The sandwich tasted yummy. The sandwich is yummy. Obviously tasted is a linking verb here.

I tasted the sandwich. I am the sandwich. Tasted is an action verb here because I am most certainly not a sandwich :).
